"Hey, do you know, Gazi Xie Mengwei's dream of returning to the big screen doesn't seem to be very popular. ”
"Back then, he was a well-known child star in our Chinese-speaking circle. ”
"But the movies I made when I grew up, to be honest, the results were average, and there was no big splash. ”
Xie Mengwei used to be a well-known child star in the Chinese-speaking circle, but his adult film works were mediocre and failed to attract much attention.
After transforming into an Internet celebrity, although he enjoyed it for a while, he unfortunately encountered a series of troubles, including a dispute with Panga, which made his online career quite bumpy.
Later, he thought, why don't we try the film industry again?
Let's see if you can roll over.
But who knows, this time back, the audience still doesn't seem to buy it, his new works, the response is mediocre, and there is no imaginary sensational effect.
On April 23rd, this day is destined to be extraordinary, because "Gazi" Xie Mengwei jumped on the giant ship of the Internet with his "masterpiece" "Sniper in the Line of Fire".
For a while, netizens watched and talked about it as if they had discovered a new continent, as if this work was a meteor that fell into the world, cutting through the calm film and television sky and bringing a lot of commotion.
The film is widely regarded as a pivotal entry into his return to the film and television industry.
Previously, before the film began to be released, Xie Mengwei was like a tireless propaganda messenger, running around.
With his passionate words, he ignited countless eyes of expectation.
It is even claimed that the film cost hundreds of millions to make, a figure that has caused a sensation in the industry, as if every viewer can feel the weight of it.
What's more, he subtly revealed that the two giants of action movies, Wu Jing and Stallone, also hesitated under the charm of the script.
However, with the release of the movie, the adventure story "Secret Jungle", which was originally hidden in the deep jungle, was transformed and renamed "Sniper in the Line of Fire".
The previous propaganda efforts disappeared without a trace as if swept away by a gust of wind.
They claimed to have smashed a mountain of gold into it, but when I watched the texture of the film, it looked like it was pieced together with a few copper plates.
The special effects of the picture always seem to drop the chain at critical moments, and the development of the plot is also full of abruptness and logical loopholes.
In the film, Xie Mengwei is like a professional "charm maker", whether he wears a police uniform or an undercover leather coat.
Always trying to activate the "heartbeat mode" of some women.
However, this effort did not move the audience as he wished, but inadvertently aroused the discomfort and embarrassment in the audience's heart.
The action scenes are even more difficult to compliment, and he drives a jeep on a rampage at the beginning, and the vehicle is indestructible.
Scarred, he can always heal quickly in the amazed eyes of everyone, as if he has never been hurt.
In the end, in an almost absurd way, he defeated all the guys who tried to become the villain, and became the legendary "immortal little power".
Although "Sniper in the Line of Fire" was severely criticized by critics and audiences, the plot was full of holes and the characters were blunt.
But on the big stage of the Internet, the popularity often has nothing to do with the real quality.
As a result, hype has been a lifesaver for many producers, who have used well-planned topics and viral marketing.
or even deliberately create controversy to attract attention.
As soon as the film was launched, it quickly occupied the top spot at the daily box office through such gimmick publicity, attracting countless eyes and discussions.
However, the good times did not last long, and due to the shallow plot and mediocre special effects, it failed to leave any impression in the hearts of the audience.
As time went on, there was less and less discussion about the work, and it gradually slipped off the box office charts and was replaced by a new one.
On April 29, time seemed to be a joke, and the film, which was at the top of the box office 5 days ago, has now fallen to the bottom, with a total box office of only 2.27 million.
According to the current trend, it is expected that the final box office of "Sniper in the Line of Fire" will not exceed 6 million, which makes the film face a loss.
For Xie Mengwei, although this mistake will not break his bones, if the next few painstaking works enter the shadow of financial deficits, his charm in the hearts of audiences who love his works will inevitably be diminished.
Back then, the "Panga Friend" incident pushed Xie Mengwei into the headlines of jokes, but this unwilling ordinary guy did not stop there.
He has become a new favorite in the field of online movies, and wants to use one work after another to tell everyone that he is not just a joke, but also a material actor.
For example, many previous films such as "Evil Eradication", "Falcon Assault", "Comic Ambition" and "Super God Bodyguard" have been released.
These works were supposed to be a springboard for his acting career, but they unexpectedly became a stumbling block to his career.
The release of every film is accompanied by his desire to succeed, however, both critics and audiences are cynical about the plot and his acting skills.
But despite this, our Brother Ga Zi will not wear the hat of "the main culprit of the movie tragedy".
He prefers to believe that it was the popcorn in the hands of the audience that was not crispy enough, which caused the movie to not be filmed well.
At present, Xie Mengwei still has two big productions in hand, "Hidden World" and "Tough Guy Sniper", both of which are planned to meet the audience in 2024.
"The Hidden World" is a big-budget movie with an investment of up to 200 million, of which Gazi is just one of many stars.
Together with Han Geng and Wang Qianyuan, he formed a strong cast.
The film is directed by the experienced Lin Delu, who has successfully directed the famous "Anti-Corruption Storm" series.
The plot of the film is similar to that of "Operation Mekong", in which our vision follows the Chinese police.
Crossing borders, chasing notorious drug lords.
In the film, the role played by Gazi is still a mystery, and only his role is known.
This role is not only a challenge for him, but also an opportunity, and it has the potential to catapult him into a new star in the film industry.
If he can't win the audience's affection with this role, then he may need to rethink his path and return to the stage of online movies to start his journey again.
As for the latter's "Tough Guy Sniper", Gazi is under tremendous pressure.
Actually, speaking of this movie, maybe if you look at the name, the officials in front of the screen basically don't know each other, and it doesn't even affect it.
But when it comes to the "stalk" of this movie, it is estimated that many netizens know.
Recalling that in 2022, all the filming work of this movie has been completed, and many stills about Xie Mengwei have been posted on the Internet by many netizens.
It is called the "Gazi stealing dogs" incident!
Later, the movie gradually died down, after all, although it was popular, this reputation was really not conducive to being released.
As the signature dish of his own film company, the success or failure of this movie is directly related to whether his purse will shrink.
Because of this, the film's release has been carefully postponed by him until the moment when he thinks the time is ripe to show it to the world.
However, there is still no exact premiere time, and there is a high probability that it will be airborne this year.
After all, the release time of this movie will not wait for anyone, the longer it drags on, the worse it will be, there are too many examples of this kind before, such as Han Geng's "Zero Limit".
It is worth mentioning that in order to promote "Tough Guy Sniper", Gazi spared no effort to shout, claiming that the level of this movie can be comparable to "Wolf Warrior 2" starring Wu Jing.
It is even claimed that the production cost behind the scenes is as high as nearly 1 billion, and even the service is worth tens of millions.
However, for those who are keenly observant, the equipment of the special forces in the movie screen, although it shines with the luster of uniforms, it is difficult to hide the ordinariness and cheapness behind it.
Gazi seems to be full of confidence in "Tough Guy Sniper", believing that it will not only achieve amazing box office results, but may even surpass the glory of "Wolf Warrior 2".
So, for such a new movie full of doubts, I don't know, will you in front of the screen find out for the "dog stealing" stalk of Gazi back then? Let's wait and see.
